The Israel Defense Forces on Monday published audio and visual documentation of the Oct. 16 engagement in Rafah in southern Gaza in which Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed by Israeli forces.
The troops that eliminated the architect of the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre were part of an 828th “Bislah” Brigade combat team, which has been operating in the former Hamas stronghold of Rafah in southern Gaza under the command of the Gaza Division in recent weeks.
“In an encounter with four terrorists, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization, Yahya Sinwar, was eliminated,” the IDF said, adding that the brigade had killed dozens more terrorists, located weapons and destroyed hundreds of Hamas infrastructure sites.
